Primary Colors
Primary Colors (website here), a creative, sensitive and upbeat trio of Josh Johnson on sax, Ryan Knudsen on pandeiro, and Liza Wallace on harp, is updating contemporary music. Working in straight-ahead jazz, fusion, folk and world music styles, the group has created some serious buzz in Los Angeles and overseas as well. The group’s music draws from the rhythmically passionate music of Venezuela, Brazil, and Cuba and the melodically enthralling music of North American jazz and folk traditions. Their compositions and arrangements synthesize these styles, creating a diverse musical experience meant to inspire laughter, tears, and dance. This will be a terrific, unique appearance.
